| Abstract |
|
Congenital long QT syndrome is a rare but potentially lethal disease, characterized by a corrected QT interval of at least 440 msec, ventricular arrhythmia, recurrent syncope, and sudden death. We experienced a case of sudden cardiac arrest during general anesthesia in a child who was later documented to have congenital long QT syndrome. We report this experience with a brief review of literature. |
